Master of Arts in Theology and Professional Ministry

This course is specifically designed for ministerial candidates who come to the process of formation and recognition with prior experience and/or theological study.

The aim is to equip students with the necessary skills and reflective ability to function with integrity and competence as recognised Christian ministers within a denominational structure. The programme is mapped to the Baptist Union of Great Britain’s Marks of Ministry Competencies for ministerial recognition but open to students from other denominations as well.

Programme Duration Part time taught course or part time distance learning (DL) course over 3 years.

For those studying by distance learning, lectures are held on zoom on Friday afternoons in term time via live zoom lectures and attendance at five residential weekends for ministerial formation.

Throughout their studies students will attend the weekly postgraduate research seminar (online).
